Train services between Badalona and Montgat stations are completely suspended after a person was struck by a train on the track section connecting the two towns. The incident occurred late on Friday 30th October 2026, and services remain halted as emergency teams work at the scene. The disruption directly affects the R1 line of Rodalies de Catalunya and regional services on the RG1 line. According to Renfe, the incident took place on the stretch linking the municipalities in the Barcelonès and Maresme regions.
